DR IRENE SCHEIMBERG, CONSULTANT PAEDIATRIC & PERINATAL PATHOLOGIST THE ROYAL LONDON HOSPITAL, BARTS HEALTH NHS TRUST, LONDON, UK
Mother primigravida, high BMI Normal antenatal scans Reduced fetal movements 48h before delivery at 40+4 weeks Caesarean section due to profound & prolonged bradycardia Male 4kg born in poor condition HR 80bpm, spontaneous breathing at 6 minutes, O2 sats 80% Cooling but he developed severe HIE PPHN & diffuse cardiac hypertrophy Intensive care withdrawn on day 2

Rare autosomal recessive disorder Diffuse calcification with hydroxyapatite deposits in the media’s elastic
lamina of large and medium sized arteries associated with intimal proliferation arterial stenosis
Antenatal USS may show hydrops and calcification (from 18/40) Depending on severity infants may present with IUD, NN heart failure,
arterial hypertension and death within the first 6 months of life in 60-80%
Spontaneous regression and survival to adulthood Biphosphonates (synthetic analogs of pyrophosphate) block
conversion of Ca+ into hydroxyapatite & calcifications disappear
ENPP1 enzyme replacement therapy successful in mice (2018)
70%: Several inactivating mutations of the ENPP1
gene which encodes ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (PP1), a potent calcification inhibitor
30%: inactivating mutations of ABCC6 gene
encoding an ATP-binding efflux transporter responsible for PXE (pseudoxanthoma elasticum)
AR hypophosphatemic rickets may also be
associated with inactivation mutations of ENPP1 & may alleviate symptoms of GACI
PXE: multisystemic ectopic mineralization disorder, late onset,
progressive clinical manifestations in skin, eyes and CV system
Genotypic overlap between PXE and GACI Several families with GACI have ABCC6 mutations. In one family one
sibling died of GACI and another develop PXE 25 years later
Recent study: 92 GACI patients
3 patients treated with biphosphonates presented later with clinical
features of PXE had ENPP1 mutations
14 patients (of 28 with no disease causing ENPP1 mutation) had ABCC6
mutations
ABCC6 mediates ATP release from hepatocytes to the extra cellular space where ATP is converted into Ppi and AMP by ENPP1
CD73 converts AMP to Pi & adenosine (inhibitor of tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) which hydrolyzes Ppi to Pi
Deficiencies in ABCC6, ENPP1 and CD73 lead to reduce plasma PPi levels and PPi/Pi ratios therefore promoting hydroxyapatite mineralization in peripheral tissues
